2012 - Tony Schmidt Park

Cuz I'm always logged in, but I'm not always here. I don't want you guys thinking I'm here 24-7 and have no life, LOL!

I think that's actually called Kellogg Park.

When I heard Star Park, I thought of the small park at the north end of the smith avenue bridge. However, I think that one is called Smith park.

Ha! I thought everyone in Cooler Crew knew that except me. Whew. I wasn't the only one. Trying to find out who designed the medallion, but can't find much. Anyone?

That's even better!!

Designed? Hard to say. Maybe MrMedHunter would know, he worked with the pioneer press on his book "Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt History". I seem to remember he had to get permission, or actually received artwork from the press on the older medallions shown on the cover.

From PP Treasure Hunt FB page:

"The general consensus is that 'Star Park' was a typo, but they haven't commented on it yet."

I wonder what park is like "Star" but yet is a typo where some pirate meds were placed...

When you hit the server your name goes to the top of the list. Then it drops down as others hit the server. If you don't hit the server in some amount of time, like 10 minutes, you drop off completely.

Saint Paul Winter Carnival

Attention all medallion hutners... please do not dig in Rice Park....

There was a debate about this on FB. Geeze.

Thank you!

warning-the following nugget is from a very tired and obsessed neurotic digger:

We're kinda convinced it's TSP, and we know there is a north and a south part surrounding CPP, and TSP runs both east and west of CPP as well as North and south. The trail is east. West is the (I typed MY instead of THE- may need a post hunt therapy session!) dirtbike mogles behind the ballfield, next to Brighton and below the baseball feild lights. I noticed CW used "fall" instead of Autumn. Down the hill, in the hole, bike jumps. There are many bike paths in many parks. Thoughts?

Taking a lunch break from treasure hunting to eat Dominos Pizza which was delivered to the parking lot, long time treasure hunters Tess McNamara of Shoreview, Scott Nelson of Lindstrom, Steve Worthman the "Map Guy" , two-time medallion hunter Jake Ingebrigtson of St. Paul and Rob Brass of Chaska get energy to continue hunting for the Winter Carnival medallion in Tony Schmidt Regional Park. "Fiinding the medallion is neat, and I hope I do someday, but the best part of the deal is this, all the people you end up meeting and the friendships you make," said Scott Nelson, hunting for his 34th year.

what do you mean by dirtbike mogles? Is that in the SW area of the park?

If you park at CPP, and follow down the trail - instead hug the baseball fence (you'll see the path) once at the top turn left and go down looking to your right-can't miss it.

Too funny! Thanks for the invite and sorry we missed y'all. Surprised that my dad didnt want to stop digging to eat. Lol Perhaps, I'll see you tonight. After a nap, I plan to return.

two-time medallion hunter Jake Ingebrigtson

Wow, he's found it twice and only hunted two times! :sillygrin:

Due South of CPP-had to google earth it-between the ballfield and the RR tracks. Geographically challenged-sorry

Thank you, from FlynnRK!

That's what I was wondering. I had it open all day while I was gone to work.

What is funny is how things have changed.

 When I first got to the CC, I was told that you knew you were in the wrong park if you saw Jake. Now there are people asking where he is hunting...

(I just hope to find it once before he finds it again...)

I have not been able to get out since Friday morning. There were maybe 5 cars at Perry and 3 at TSP when I left. Something tells me, that is not the case now

Had a bad day today, want to hunt and forget my worries.

Good luck CC, see you all tomorrow morning if the puck is still in play.

I still think that's true. He just does a better job now of aligning himself with people who are good clue noodlers (Rob, Alex, AW, to name a few).

This park has been targeted for medallionation!

I am going to see if they gave us a doozy and hid the medallion in a piece of Yarusso's Lasagna. Probably going to head down in about 20 minutes if anyone wants to join me.

I think the Triple might be how the parks are kinda stacked on each other tony Schmidt( with the beach area included) then CPP park, then tony Schmidt. :smile: Don't know if it's an accident but....

Circulated in the PiPress news.

Notice the 3 letters that are capitalized...CPP

I use to think the triple meant different things..

now I think it may be the parks being kinda stacked.

good noodle.

This needs to be zeroed-in:

"When you spot a place with a special claim."

Need to locate that spot or place with a special claim. In that entire park(s), where is this special claim located.

After scouring the park again, I'm now certain that the medallion will be hidden tonight. :litesmile:

he has been noodling clues with us for years.

I think it was Leelabell who brought up questions about Wednesday night earlier... what is the feeling on whether we need someone in line to get the paper/ticket for the paper or whether the online release is adequate?

Charles Perry's homestead claim.

The first in the township.

I was thinking you had to be able to see Perry's claim from where it is. I've been trying to keep the area in sight.

Thoughts?....Ive seen your symptoms before....Its called medallionitis...yes you do need therapy soon....but not before friday.

Nice to meet you today. :smile:

Diehard treasure hunter Melissa Weeks of St. Paul, taking time off from work for her tenth year of hunting, searches for the Winter Carnival medallion in Tony Schmidt Regional Park. "I have a vibe about this spot," says Weeks.

Go MNM!!!!!

ty for acknowledgement :smile:

To mark it off the checklist, I think this is your red and blue:

3.5 hrs,,,tick, tock, tick,

think your right , along with gabes sign, and possibly purple

I actually set up a conference call line for tonight if we want to use it. I'm not sure exactly how it will work with the scrambled clue though. We have someone at Gabes, and we will have the 4th paper (I was there at noon to get my ticket). We could do the conference call for the real clue if we can't unscramble the clue in time. Any thoughts on the best way to work this?

Someone had asked about Chatham Trails, and if that center section (by the elementary school) was fair game. I was doing a double take to run through everything again, and I found that Chatham Trails is also located in that general area most seem to be looking. Hope this helps... I highlighted it on the picture in the link

So, were you on a bench today at the park, when mucluck and I walked by?

I haven't been out yet, had a dentist appointment this afternoon. I think I'm going to wait for the clue and go out then. If you see me, I'm going to wear these glasses <--- and a pink and white striped hat and I have pink in my hair :smile:

I think that is a good idea... a test run of the system. I have waited in line for the paper in the past, but have never really been in on the conference calls. I am not sure how that works.

Would you want to just post the number and we can call in and be set to test it out for tonight?

What I am really curious about is how the timing plays out for the online clue vs. paper...

joe

:smile:

I have never done that before!

I'm off to get a new bluetooth headset for my cell phone. Any discussions about party phone calls for Clue 11 yet?

you out tomorrow md?

well i'm thinking there are many in one park. up next, photos from twincities.com pretty much telling you which park. yeah it's clue 10 but that 7% just lept to 97%, lol.. :frown:

nice 300 joe

That's what I was thinking. :confused:
